When Missionaries Experience Personal Loss with Dirk Smith (Encore Episode)

In this encore episode, Dirk Smith, vice president of Eastern European Mission, shares his very personal story of losing his wife to ALS last year. Dirk’s story is honest and it is also filled with hope. He shares real and helpful ways missionaries—and anyone—can navigate loss well and trust that it is not the end of our story, but is the beginning of something new.
